The Commerce Department authorized NOAA in 2019 to begin procuring elements of the SWFO program.
The retired NOAA geostationary weather satellite previously known as Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-13 has been renamed Department of Defense-1.
NOAA plans to send commands to the SWFO mission in S-band and to downlink SWFO science data in X-band.
Congress provided NOAA funding in the 2020 budget for the Space Weather Follow On (SWFO) satellite destined for Earth-Sun Lagrange Point 1.
SWFO is designed to carry on work performed by NOAA’s Deep Space Climate Observatory launched in 2015 and the joint European Space Agency–NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory launched in 1995.
NOAA is preparing to send a second Compact Coronagraph into orbit in 2025 on Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-U (GOES-U).
The U.S. Air Force is moving a retired National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration geostationary weather satellite into orbit over the Indian Ocean.
PROSWIFT directs the National Science and Technology Council to establish an interagency working group on space weather that includes NOAA, NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the Department of the Interior.
Representative Frank Lucas’ amendment to PROSWIFT permits NOAA to establish a pilot program to award contracts to commercial space weather companies and does not direct NOAA to establish the program.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will power down the GOES-14 and GOES-15 spacecraft and place them into orbital storage by 2019-01-31.
NOAA no longer needs space weather data from GOES-14 because GOES-16 is generating more advanced space weather data and GOES-17 provides space weather data in a developmental system.
The final spending bill provides $755,000,000 for NOAA’s Polar Weather Satellites program, combining the existing JPSS program with the Polar Follow-On initiative.
The appropriations bill rejected the Commerce Department’s proposal to merge the two offices and instead kept the Office of Space Commerce and CRSRA separate and located within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The minibus encourages that the $1,100,000 cost of the independent study be split between NOAA and the Commerce Department’s management account.
The final spending bill provides $304,000,000 for NOAA’s GOES-R geostationary weather satellite program.
NOAA’s new Systems/Services, Architecture and Engineering program includes $3,000,000 for additional commercial weather pilot programs and $5,000,000 to begin commercial purchase of GPS radio occultation data for weather forecasting.
The 2019-10-31 minibus combined several measures including the commerce, justice and science (CJS) bill that funds NASA, NOAA, and the National Science Foundation.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration awarded Umbra Lab a license in 2018 for a constellation to offer 25-centimeter resolution from satellites in 515-kilometer circular sun-synchronous orbit.
NOAA weather satellites in geostationary orbit are equipped with space weather sensors.
NOAA uses DSCOVR to monitor space weather conditions from the Earth–sun L1 Lagrange point approximately 1.5 million kilometers from Earth toward the sun.
